The process of getting to sign the lease was a little rocky. There was a miscommunication with management from another tenant; however, management was accommodating. The units are quite spacious, and there is tons of storage. Not a pet-friendly apartment, but if you have a service animal, it's a great place to check out. It's pretty quiet and everyone tends to stick to themselves (which I think is great). The big sell point is the roof. The 360 view of the entire city is worth anything.

Walking distance from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Safeway, Carillon House Apartments is a 15-minute commute from American University. The rental feel includes water, electricity, and gas. There is an on-site gym, laundry facilities, and bicycle storage. The building feels like a hotel: it is very clean and work orders are completed in a timely manner. I will stay here for the next two years.

Approximately 1.2 mile walk to AU's main campus.
Has front desk services, gym, rooftop.
Within blocks of all necessities (restaurants, parks, grocery stores, etc.).
No in-unit laundry.

Very affordable option! Typically very quiet. The appliances and building are a little dated but I can't complain about that considering the price. Wifi is included and you just need to buy your own router. It works fantastically 95% of the time. I only have a couple issues. While heating and AC is "included" in rent, the building is either on for AC or heat. So apartments are pretty unbearably hot during hot periods in fall when the building is on heat. Also, noise is typically not a problem since residents are respectful but you can easily hear people in the hallway that walk by. The rooftop is a plus!

I faced and Im still facing huge issues. The management is bad, my apartment flooded three times and they moved me three times. They don't care about their residents.you can't find them.
I was thinking to sue them

Great apartment with good management. The rooftop is the highest in the Georgetown area and has amazing views.

The walk uphill from campus can be annoying, but having all utilities including internet included in the rent is awesome. The AC/heating system works great, water is always hot when I want it to be, and I've never seen mice or had a pest issue, which can be an issue I've heard in the nearby townhouses in Glover Park. The only caveat is wifi can be slow, but you can always pay $40 extra monthly for high speed internet through Comcast. I just go to Starbucks or stay on campus to study, but I do wish there was a cafe nearby that opened late. There's a small gym in the building, laundry is with a reloadable card, and there's indoor parking if you want to pay for it. The sundeck is awesome when the weather is nice, and has a great view of the entire city since the building's on top of a hill. Overall, you should live here if you're okay with not living right across from campus. There IS a shuttle you can take 4 minutes walking distance from the apartment.

This place is smoke-friendly! In addition to having an ash tray at every entrance, they have an ash tray outside every elevator on every floor. People smoke outside my window all the time--especially at night. Management says "no smoking," but it's rarely enforced. So, if you are a smoker, or love smelling others smoke in the elevators and stairwells, then this place is for you.

However, if you are a student, then don't live here. The "free" internet is a waste of time because it is VERY SLOW (almost non-existent). You won't be able to watch lectures or simply do literature searches anytime after 5pm.

Finally, "utilities included" is a half-truth. They regulate when you are allowed to use heat or AC (no heat in the summer and no AC in the winter). Which sounds reasonable except during seasonal transitions when it may be hot and muggy outside, but all you can do is crank up the heat.

The apartment and the building itself could use some upgrading. Hallways are a little dark but my studio is quite large and has great windows and sunlight. The neighborhood, Glover Park, has some useful amenities nearby but is not the most happening or active area of DC.

It's great the Carillon House is quiet so I can focus at home while I am studying. I wish the cost of laundry was not as expensive as it is right now. Even though the rent is somewhat high, it is still a nice apartment to live in. The internet is kind of slow, which is hard for when I study at home.
